DISCUSSION
A general discussion took place over dinner which covered a range of
topics which are of mutual concern to the two cities. The major
topic of discussion was the Trunk Highway 7 Corridor Study. It was
stressed by the Shorewood Councilmembers and Mayor that it is not
the intent of the City of Shorewood to reduce the number of access
points into Excelsior in order to force more business transactions in
Shorewood's shopping areas. It was stated that Shorewood's approach
in reviewing the Corridor Study alternatives would be to support the
direction that the other cities participating in the study wish to
take relative to the portion of the Corridor which lies in their
City. The proposed improvements to the Christmas Lake Road inter-
section and the County Road 19 stop light were also discussed. It
was found that the electric bill for operation of other stop lights
in Shorewood comes to approximately $40.00 per month. The Excelsior
City Council stated their appreciation for the opportunity to discuss
matters which are of mutual concern to the two communities. It was
also stated that it was good to clear up any misconceptions which
have occured relative to the Corridor Study.
